LAND:

On February 18, 1799 Francis Lockett, Sen'r. of Chesterfield Co. sells to William Lockett of the same place for £175 a tract of 150 acres, more or less, in Chesterfield Co. being part of the tract on which Francis Lockett now lives. It begins at a sweet gum on Spring Run on Eleazer Clay's line, and Ellison Clarke's line, Elam Lockett's line, and the old mill path are parts of the boundary. (Chesterfield Co. Deed Records 14/412) On the same date William Lockett, who desires to secure the payment of a debt of £175 to Elam Lockett and Francis Cheatham, executors of Henry Cheatham, Jun'r, dec'd, with lawful interest from September 23, 1797 until paid, appoints Maj. John Hill and Robert Haskins his trustees to sell at public auction the above tract of 150 acres or as much thereof as shall be necessary to pay the debt of £175 with interest and costs. (14/459) William Lockett is probably Francis's son.

AGE:

William is in the personal property tax list for the first time in 1800. His father sold him a tract of land in 1799. If he became 21 in 1800, he was born in about 1779. His father's will indicates that in March 1800 he had 3 younger brothers and that he was less then 21.
